Another grooming gone wrong

[Potter]

Your baby still look very cute. They gave her a Schnauzer cut. Try to do the grooming yourself, I am doing it for Pao for quite a while now. The first few times I did it on my own, it wasn't superb but at least he wasn't shaved all the way down and I have to pay $70 for a lazy job and something that I didn't ask for.

So it will be much better,if you will start to get him costumde with that operation from younger age.If you were not living on the other side of the wolrd,i maight showed you ....but is not the case....but i'm sure ,if you are going to a groomer and you will '' try to steal some grooming tips" it will go easy. Just take it easy,do not be nervouse when you are grooming your dog,coz the little creature will feel it and than you will be in trouble.

Good luck

Thanks Eve.. You are very right, the nail file would not work anyway. I guess I will learn how to clip Bonnie's nails. I have been brushing her every night before bed. She is really getting easy to handle, and is so sweet when I am brushing her.

I am so sorry, I know EXACTLY how you feel
it makes me crazy when they don't listen , I have been through this so many timesbut your little one does look adorable and it will grow back /
I know when people say oh it will grow back you think I know I know, but it will and faster than you think.
So sorry

I am sorry this happened to you,he still looks adorable.

I wish that people would stop paying for bad service and maybe these groomers would be motivated to do what they are paid to do if they know they won't be paid.

I know for me I don't go because I am just the one not to pay for a service I didn't want.Even if that meant calling the police and filing a report.Someone has to outcry for these things to change.Its the principal you know.

As i have told before,the first steps are a little difficult,till you get costumed to groom your own yorkie.You should have not to forget,that people learning from mistakes.
You can't do wrong...just a little...hmmm......but don't sweat...i have failed also,but i got experienced with the time.I have showdogs and i'm going a lot on shows,but even i'm doing sometimes mistakes.
We are humans,so just take it easy .

I don't know why groomers don't listen, but that's why I started doing my own. I figured I couldn't screw it up any worst than they did and so far I have been right. I have 4 yorkies to groom and I am still learning but I am not nearly as heart broken as some of the times I picked up my babies and thought for sure they had given me the wrong dogs. The last time was really bad and no I didn't pay for any of their so called special services. I took that money and went and bough some good clippers, sicssors and what ever else I needed. Now each time it's time for a cut I can put those $ in the grooming fund and have anything I need. I am getting alot better to folks....but anyway
I would ask why did'nt you leave some hair to pull up and some aroung the ears to flow. They would answer, "guess so and so didn't get that message"
well tooot, I'll do it myself and save $45.00 x 4 let's see who can listen and pass a message next time.

I know some groomers are excellent but some are really the pitts and shouldn't be grooming in the first place.

Start out slow and look on the net and find tips and how to video's that will help alot then go for it.

Very good to see,that i'm not only the one who is thinking the same about groomers.

First of all,when a person is interested for this breed,for yorkies,would do it better first to buy some books,go to the kennelclub and speak with people who are haveing yorkies.

They can help a lot , save a lot of time,energy and money as well.

Good advices can come from breeders from where you bought the puppy.

At the start i did all those things,what i wrote before,now i'm able to give myself advices,when i'm asked.

If i can help,i'm doing with pleasure
